“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 133

(The day after the last session Jane realized that she had burned herself on the back of her right leg, just above the heel. While it was not overly severe, the burn was deep enough to have formed a scar; yet she could not recall when she had been burned. She later realized she had done it during the last session.

(During sessions now, Jane sits in our rocker across from my writing table. She usually faces our big bay window. Beneath the window is a heater, covered by a metal window seat. At times this “seat” becomes too hot to touch. At times also, Jane sits with her feet propped up on this seat while dictating. Checking, she discovered that while in her usual position with her feet up, the burn coincided exactly with the edge of the seat. I had wondered at times about the seat becoming too hot, but had taken it for granted that Jane automatically lowered her feet when it became too warm. Evidently she had neglected to do so, at least once, yet had felt no pain. I would also remember had the session been interrupted by her. Both of us have speculated about whether she is less sensitive to pain while in her trance state.

(Note also the variation in the opening of the session.)

(Bill Macdonnel, who has witnessed several sessions, was at the door. He remained for the balance of the session. Jane had thought Seth would continue the interruption as our first break, but shortly she announced he wanted to continue. When she resumed her voice was abruptly quite a bit deeper and stronger, and it remained so for the balance of the session. Resume at 9:17.)

Many sessions ago I used the analogy of air within your physical field, comparing it with the vitality of the universe, in that you are not as a rule conscious of air. Yet it is part of everything within your field. And also, that most inaccessible, most inward and seemingly most mysterious portion of the inner universe, which you seek, is so a part of you that you are unaware of it even though in it you have your very existence.

(Break at 9:26. Jane reported that she was well dissociated to begin the session, and even more so after Bill’s arrival. She resumed in the same deeper and louder manner at 9:35.)

This duality then affects your own perception in a most diverse fashion. It sets man against himself. We will go into this matter more clearly at our next session, as it will lead us further into some new areas.

This has been a most fruitful session. My best regards to all of you. I would suggest that you keep watch on your Miss Callahan from Thursday on of next week.

(End at 10:25. Jane was fully dissociated, she said. Miss Callahan is an elderly retired teacher who lives in the front apartment of our second floor here. Oddly enough, she had her first stroke almost exactly a year ago—February 17,1964. Since her illness then, Seth has dealt with her to varying degrees on February 17, as well as in the 29th, 31st, 33rd, 44th, 46th, 54th, and 56th sessions, among others. Jane has also had clairvoyant dreams involving Miss Callahan.
